joining us is clint van zandt. he's a former hostage negotiator. he worked on many cases from the oklahoma city bombings to the unabomber. >> welcome back. >> good to be with you. >> based on everything we know about the bomb that was used, what kind of person did this? >> even though the bomb itself has roots in asia, the middle east, this is a popular device on the internet we know for example in 2011 a former soldier at fort hood built two similar devices that he was going to attack the military that major nadal hasan did. it would be easy for one person to do this. easier for two. no indication that it's a group whatsoever. >> why don't you think anybody's taken credit for this? what's the point if you're going to do this and not make a statement at some point that's obvious? >> for example the anthrax centers. the fbi believes the scientist who committed suicide that did that never said look what i did. we got these letters that went out, but no one person, no one organization took credit. sometimes for some people the best secret is knowing s

joining me now is clint van zandt. good morning. >> good morning. >> one of the things we learned about the pressure cooker bomb is that al-qaeda put directions for building one on its most recent edition of inspire magazine. they can also be found on the internet, but neither al-qaeda or any other organization has claimed responsibility. would that lead you to believe that is a lone wolf or disgruntled domestic suspect as opposed to an international terrorist? >> i think you have to keep all options open. it could be a hybrid. take for example in 2011, a former u.s. soldier was arrested in the area of ft. hood texas, the same area where major nadal hasan committed that terrible act on the military base. this young soldier was arrested because he was assembling two pressure cooker type devices that he was going to target on a u.s. military. the way he was arrested, the same gun store where major hasan bought one of his guns, noticed a large sale of black powder to this young man. they told the authorities, the authorit

van zandt. james, clear up something for me based on what we just heard. they're no longer looking for a third person. dzhokhar is the only person they're looking for. some folks were being allowed to leave work and go home. we also heard from governor patrick people should stay in their homes. putting all of these pieces together in your opinion, do they have dzhokhar cornered or do not know where he is? >> well, i think they think they have him in an area near watertown that's a block or some houses you keep seeing on the feed there. they think he's in there. they've set up a heavy perimeter there with the s.w.a.t. and srt teams and doing a methodical search. fact there's no third person, s.e., is really a good point. i think that takes the tension down a little bit. >> yeah. >> because then we back up to the bombs around the city. they have this bomb isolated that they keep talking about they're going to do controlled detonation on. that bomb is not going to hurt anybody. the bomb technicians
